Huge tree down

When I heard that big CRACK in the windstorm last night, I thought it was just a big branch breaking off. Turns out the whole tree snapped off and landed blocking our driveway.

A friend came over early with a chainsaw and we cut the tree up into big chunks. We didn't have time to chop it up, so I just dragged the limbs off the driveway with the tractor.

Our goat kid was born yesterday! We will be picking up mama and doeling in a couple of weeks! We are so excited! I've got two weeks to get the barn and fence tight, build a milking stand, and build a milking area.

We've got lots to plant, but we may get snow Saturday morning which kind of puts a damper on things. We've already got about 10 tomatoes in the ground. I might use the "wall o' waters" on them. We'll see.

Wow.. good thing that tree fell someplace it would't hurt someone. I keep feeling 'behind' cuz my tomatoes and peppers aren't all in yet-- and then I remember how many folks up north haven't even begun to plant theirs yet--and we'll still be warm when yours are done. Helps me keep from having a panic attack over my garden when I read things like 'wall o waters'. Thanks! (not meaning to gloat about it--I mean it--thanks!
